Java 7, What will be the future with Oracle/Sun merge

I woke up this morning to the news of Oracle’s agreement to buy Sun and I naturally have to wonder about what this means for Java and Java 7.

Oracle Adds New Exhibit to Java Technology Museum

Last year, Oracle acquired BEA Systems, the hottest company in enterprise Java…until around 2001. Today, they announced the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the architects of the infrastructure of the dot com era. Remember the “dot in dot com”?

Some with stake in the Java ecosystem are questioning what kind of control Oracle might try to exercise over the popular software development platform, which has driven enterprise applications since its debut in 1995.

Oracle’s Sun buy: Ellison praises Solaris, Java

Oracle CEO cites Java, Solaris as key components of acquisition.

Oracle may have decided to buy Sun Microsystems because it was worth far more to the database market leader than it was to IBM.
